We leave behind us the horrors of war, the stormy days of unrest coincident with reconstruction, and the trials and tribulations of a shifting, uncertain state of af- fairs. Like the proverbial clouds that have a silver lining, we can begin to see ‘the light of a better, brighter day ahead. Verily, we are on the thresh- . old of a new era. With the happy vision of the optimist we can see the restoration of order out of chaos, and the wheels of industry busily turning with the new impetus of a happier, contented people. And coming nearer home, we have every confi- dente in the resumption of operations and rehabilita- tion of the factories in and around New Britain. That there will soon be work aplenty for all is our firm be- lef. We pin our faith on the future of aur city. New Britain has seen good times and bad, - has weathered many a storm and has always emerged a greater, bigger city. And just like the sun that comes out after the rain, so will activity peplace lethargy, and industry, agog with the thrill of new vitalized, energy, will be the order of the day. Once more the worker will come into his own and can smile the smile of satisfaction as in the days of yore. And now let us all rejoice in the coming return of better days and hail this Yuletide with the true joy of living. We wish you all Happy New Year. DAME SCHOOL OF EXFERIENCE, by 8. M.

In the first place the boys had nothing to do with closing the flood gates (so called) the park employes took of this; and the was filled to the overflowing peint. Everything was in readiness for good freeze.

ASK $2,000,000 INCREASE State Aid for Public Schools Will Be | More This Year if Proposed Mea- sure is Adopted. Hartford, Dec. 24.—Increases ag- gregating $2,000,000 in the state aid for public schools will be sought in legislation proposed by the Connecti- cut State Teachers' Association, and endorsed by the state board of educa- tion. If successful, such legislation would boost the biennial state budget of state aid tor schools to a figure in the neighborhood of $5,000,000. The $2,000,000 increase will sought by proposed amendments to two educational acts now on the statute books, the greater part on the law granting various degrees of state, aid to towns for teachers’ salaries in proportion to the total of the grand| lists, and lesser part on the average) attendance grant bill. The proposal is to increase from $3 to $4 the amount allowed towdns for | each pupil in average attendance. four dollars was amount fixed in the bill presented to last regulr session of the Legislature, but it was reduced by the appropriations committee to $3. be FACTS AND FANCIES 8y ROBERT QUILLEXM If you have ability, there are two easy ways to wealth.
